Thanks for posting all those pix. I didn't think there'd be that much Ford iron there.

I had no idea that Dana Mecum owned that early GT40 roadster. Business must be good. Very good.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/10/classic-ferrari-250-gto-set-to-become-worlds-most-expensive-car/ I always liked the GTOs, but $60MM? Wow.

You're a gentleman & a scholar.:thumbsup

Cool, but frankly I'd rather see more pictures of JG's GT40 Mk IV.

"A lightweight, compact six-speed Holinger paddle shift transmission delivers proven race durability with direct-pneumatic activation for fast, positive and consistent gear shifts. The GT4 powertrain also carries a dry sump oiling system, ZF-developed twin-plate racing clutch and flywheel."...

I like this one even better: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/bmw-driver-on-lsd-and-cough-syrup-rescues-neighbors-dog-1788237073

They remind me of fighter jets off a carrier due to the lack of engine noise & wheel spin.

Here's another acceleration stat that's mind numbing; the new FOUR cylinder Boxster, 0-100 in 8.5 seconds! I must be getting old.... http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2017-porsche-718-boxster-s-pdk-automatic-test-review?src=nl&mag=cdb&list=nl_dvr_news&date=101716

I have no horse in this race, but I found this interesting. http://blog.caranddriver.com/x-ed-out-tesla-discontinues-200-mile-base-model-x-60d/?src=nl&mag=cdb&list=nl_dvr_news&date=101216

Remember how incredible the GT's acceleration #s were of 0-100 in 8 seconds? Well, the new Bentley Bentayga, all 5700 lbs of it, does 0-100 in 8.9 (C&D 11/16). Wow.

Eddie: That's an early T70? It doesn't have the twin covered lights, no?

FWIW, I know of 2 Mk Vs in Ohio, one not even completed, for $350,000 (the incomplete car will be finished for that price), but $250,000 & change? I would've been tempted to import that car.

Tim: Did you have a gun in your hand? I recently passed on TP 17 GT350 @$500 UNDER list, but the Rs around here are still $20G over.

Sold last week for about $257,000 at time of sale, a relative bargain for a car like this: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/23595/lot/178/

And continue the model into 2018-19?!?! http://jalopnik.com/ford-mustang-shelby-gt350-to-get-dual-clutch-automatic-1787463747

Was the Lorenzen Galaxie the real deal? I saw a nearly perfect recreation on the southwest side of Chicago about 30 years ago. Lorenzen had retired from racing and was a real estate agent in Oak Brook, and the guy who owned the car was hoping to show it to him. This car could be the same one.

Even @ $2MM+/pop: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-09-29/ferrari-sells-out-open-top-aperta-to-underpin-push-for-growth

WADR, the Z/28 is a one dimensional track car. No one, and I mean no one drives one on the street, unless he/she is a real true believer. Yes, the GT350 should be lighter, but you're still comparing apples to oranges when one has a 7 liter push rod small block that makes torque down low vs a...

"R8 was pretty cool. Or, more accurately "so sick and Dope as f��k." :) Artist and owner are from Tampa. I assumed it was a wrap, but apparently it is paint." Yeah, because that's what I want to see painted on my $100,000+ car; a picture of a seven year old smoking a cig and holding a bag of cash.
